</div>FACTS <o:p></o:p>The complainant, until his dismissal was an Assistant Lecturer at
the Respondent University. In his complaint dated 26 September 2008 the
complainant claimed that he appeared before a Committee that investigated
certain admission malpractices of some students. Complainant further claims
that the Committee questioned him about two particular students and to the best
of his knowledge he told them all that he knew. The Committee report, according
to the complainant did not indict him for being involved in the admission
malpractice. Therefore it came as a surprise when he was dismissed from the
University for being involved in the malpractices. The complainant therefore
requested the Commission to “look into
the ground for my dismissal as I believed [sic] that it has nothing to do with
admission malpractices based on the investigation committee's report."
The only relief the complainant asked for was for him to be exonerated from the
allegations which formed the basis of his dismissal.<o:p></o:p>OBSERVATION <o:p></o:p>In the course of investigation
the Respondent vide a letter dated 20 February 2009 informed the Commission
that:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;

border:none;mso-padding-alt:31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt;mso-border-shadow:yes">"the Vice-Chancellor had
considered the petition sent by Mr. Sarpong dated June 15, 2008 and decided to
review the Committee 's report. Accordingly the dismissal letter issued to Mr.
Sarpong on February 4, 2008 is withdrawn".<o:p></o:p>In reaction to respondents'
letter aforestated the complainant in an email message dated 11 March 2009
informed the Commission that “I am [sic]
very happy and free man" after he had received a copy of Respondents'
letter. This statement of complainant is a clear indication that the relief
sought by him has been satisfied by the Respondents.<o:p></o:p>DECISION <o:p></o:p>Having regard to the above the
Commission considers this matter as settled and ceases any further
investigations.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
